Gerrard retired today, haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.

How the fuck did he get away with that Can't even remember reading it.

There was this of course as well:

Imagine the stewards confiscating poppies man.

I have never encountered anyone immersing themselves in the most tedious details of a cup tie like this in my life

Had the same thought.

From Mediawatch ‘I must be honest; I wasn’t sure about Marcos Alonso as Chelsea’s left-back, but that was probably due to having watched Ashley Cole for a number of seasons.’ Garth Crooks: Suspicious of all left-backs who are not Ashley Cole.

Sometimes it's quite subtle. On Saturday, for example, he praised the collective but criticised the individual, noting Palace had "dealt with [City] quite well tactically," but that they "gifted" the second, winning goal. Translation: I did my job, but someone else messed up. He blamed "one player" for not passing on a message about their adjusted duties at corners when coming on as substitute. By process of elimination, that player was Lee Chung-Yong, brought on two minutes before City's winner. "That's unacceptable to me," Pardew solemnly intoned, as if making sure everyone knows what they're supposed to be doing from corners isn't the manager's responsibility. "We'll have to make sure they wear a t-shirt with the message on it next time." Fucking hell man, it was stuff like that.

The beauty of Pardewed is that it requires no explanation whatsoever.

This, easily.

Tevez, Mascherano, Ben Arfa...

He's been Pardewed, he's not dead.

Aye I was at that one.

Time to what? He was given 4 years to help run the club into the ground at Newcastle. Even his fans in the media couldn't call that progress.

Fuckin cunt foot manager more like

It always looked a foolishly shortsighted decision to leave us for Palace, and so it is proving. When you've spent your entire career on Spurs bench or at crap clubs on loan then you might want to stick with it when you're finally on a roll at a decent club.

Ah yeah, good summary

Anyone see the pen incident in the first half?

Well that last ten minutes was all one poster's fault Confident now we've held on there but they were causing mayhem with the balls into the box for a while.

He posts, while the game is still fucking going, as if this isn't still NUFC. Expected to get 2 men sent off and get soundly beaten the way some people were carrying on.

Not everyone else is completely obsessed with them.

What used to be so great about this thread? I've been here 6 years and it's always been pretty much the same as far as I can remember. What did it used to be like? Nice try but there is not a hope in hell this thread hasn't become 10 times more embarrassing the last 6 months or so. It used to have piss taking of our local neighbours that had a bit more wit than hur hur hur you've dropped your gay card. And aren't you the bloke who doesn't understand why racial slurs are hurtful to the recipient? Got a nice little group of utter thickos on the forum who have all turned up at once, not surprised they're defending each other when told they're shit.

"I'm going nowhere kids" I'm here lads, with my fucking terrible patter, so "try and have some fun". One of the thickest and most irritating posters we've ever had, Christ.
